Had a LEO encounter last week while OC'ing in Northville Twp. I went into Noodles & Company on 6 Mile and Haggerty to place a carry out order. I was OCing my Taurus 1911 and none of the employees seem to notice or care. Paid for my food and went back to my truck to have a smoke while waiting.
I saw a friend of mine who works at the GameStop and I was chatting with him and another guy who noticed my side arm. He was friendly and asked me a ton of questions about OC which I happily answered.
I finished my smoke and started walking towards Noodles when I hear "Sir, can I talk to you for a minute?" It was a Twp. LEO so I went over to have a word with him.
He asked if I had a CPL and I immediately replied that I do not need a CPL to OC, nor do I have to show it to him. As soon as I told him that he said
" I am not challenging you, We got a MWAG call and I was sent to check it out. I know OC is legal but I have to do my job. Northville Twp. is well aware of the law due to recent legal action being filed all over the state"
He was nothing but polite and professional. We talked for a few minutes and he mentioned the Lansing Ponderosa incident.
He asked very nicely to see my ID and CPL and I cooperated because he was not trying to be a jerk about the situation, and looked like he was irritated that someone called in an MWAG for nothing.
We shook hands after my ID came back clean and he left. I was pretty pleased with the level of professionalism and courtesy that was shown and I am very happy to hear that Northville Twp. is aware of OC.
